The Patriots could not stop the bleeding as the Horned Frogs jumped to a 5-0 lead scratching a single run across the plate in each of the second, third, fourth, and sixth innings.

DBU was scoreless through five innings, then in the bottom of the sixth Sophomore Jason Krizan reached base on a single to left field before advancing to third base on a Senior Brandon Bantz double. Junior Ryan Thompson stepped up to the plate and belted a two RBI double to left field, scoring both Krizan and Bantz on the play. Thompson then was pushed across the plate for the third run of the inning on a Junior Austin Knight RBI single to center field to leave the score, 5-3.
